Prasat Sop Nam Man (ปราสาทสบน้ำมัน - Pronounced: P'ra-sart Sop Nam Man)
A somewhat remote site set in extensive farmland to the southeast of Chaiyaphum Province. The precise location is marked by a large mango tree and consists of an earthen mound featuring a number of sandstone blocks, generally uncarved although a large, intact, linga pedestal is still in situ. The temple was formerly surrounded by a horseshoe-shaped moat opening to the east although only vague traces remain today.
No laterite or brick vestiges are apparent so the sanctuary presumably comprised of a small, sandstone tower while unconfirmed dating likely places it somewhere in the 11th century.
